Age verification in SL

Finally some very welcome news from LL, they will soon be starting an age verification system for “adult” (porn/sexual) related areas.
In the future you will need to provide proff before you will be able to enter such areas.

I personally find all the porn/clubs/gambling the bane of Second life and steps need taking. For example, a club or casino on a 1024 plot could in theory fill a sim with its max users - what are all the other people who own property on a sim supposed to do when they can’t even enter their sim?

Aside from age verification I would like to see LL deal with the issue above in some way. Premium sims or increased subscription rates/ traffic penalties.

I just spotted this on youtube;

Changing the colour of your objects on the minimap

The minimap is a very useful tool but one thing that bothered me was that my objects show up as an almost identical colour as residents at different levels.
You know, those ‘T’ shapes.

I asked live help if it was possible to change the colour of my objects and was told that they didn’t know of any way to do it.
So I went digging and found the answer is in the file:

  • C:\Program Files\SecondLife\app_settings\colors_base.xml

Pyramid schemes in SL

Several asswipes are dropping pyramid shaped prims on any land they can build on.
These prims vary in size from 10 mtrs down to small ones but all feature a dollar bill texture and give out notecards when touched which relate to a pyramid scheme.

Pyramid schemes are illegal in most countries and certainly against the Second Life TOS according to the Linden I asked.
The creator of these prims is DisQ Hern and the main person dropping them is Knight9954 Rojyo.
